Does anyone get confused on what to play at all? My original Intrument is Bass... I have been playing for almost 8 years.. although i love playing it i alway end up going back to guitar! But Guitar i am not the greatest at, BUT i love to just hear that distortion and just rock out. I have owned about 5 guitars and 4 basses.. i always trade and get bored easiley... anyone get like this? - Sat, 17 Nov 2007 7:22pm

I'm in the same boat. I'm a mediocre guitarist and I'm thinking about changing to bass because nobody wants to play with mediocre guitarists.

I wanted to try something new so I bought a little tin whistle at long & mcquade the other day. They're a hell of a lot of fun for $4. - Sun, 18 Nov 2007 12:14am

Yah... i play nu-metal i guess you would say, Korn, Deftones, Coal Chamber.. all the old stuff from the late 90's.. I write too much like the deftones on guitar and i play alot like fieldy from korn.. Sludgy groove bass. I guess ill find my way. ill probabl end up buying both guitar and bass. Its just a pain because you can never ever find anyone that likes that shit anymore! we are all grown up! - Sun, 18 Nov 2007 7:37am

Nah. I'm working on a couple Beatles songs and some by Sublime. When I've got it together enough I'll start writing my own and find a drummer. - Sun, 18 Nov 2007 12:50pm

Mike,
I'm in the same boat. I started with bass but now play mostly guitar. I think most people like to be upfront playing leads on guitar rather than in the background on bass. I also find that usually the guitarists are the primary song composers, with bass being filled in later. I think both are great skills to have, especially if you plan to have a one man recording project. The more instruments you can play the better (as long as you can play them well).

Oh yeah.. and what the fuck were you yelling at me when I was in the bathroom the other night? - Sun, 18 Nov 2007 5:33pm
